Sunday post #32I've Created A Pinterest Account!

For some reason, I can’t even recall what this week’s been like! I… taught a class? Maybe? I… Ate? Maybe you remember what I did..?

All I know is that I remember a dream I had tonight, which was that I accidentally wrote a novellete, when trying to write a blog post. Go figure. I’m not even in NaNo! All of you must be rubbing off on me or something.

However!Luckily, I did this on Friday, which still counts as the glorious weekend, so I remember I wanted to ask you about your Pinterest accounts. Do you guys have Pinterest? If so, I want to follow your boards! I have started my own account and I don’t know what’s the easiest way to connect with friends there. So if you would follow me or give me your links in the comments, I’d love to connect with you! I will be pinning mostly funny bookish stuff – for now, until I figure out what Pinterest is all about and what I want to do there 😀

Here are my liveliest and most fun boards at the moment:

~ Last Week On The Blog ~

Last week we had full throttle on the SciFi Month, although I am sorry that I didn’t visit much of you other SciFi Month’ers during the week, as I was incredibly busy. I’ll try to catch up! So last week, I reviewed Central Station, a non-Western slice of life sci-fi, also wrote a touchie post that a lot of you loved about how my sister helped me become a book blogger, and also I wrote a discussion/list about the hopeful scifis I’ve read, cause we just can’t keep reading about sad futures all the time. Oh yes, I also posted a monthly recap, and although I usually don’t include Sunday posts, maybe you want to see what happened during my month, if you missed it.

~ Coming Up Next Week~

Next week I will be posting just about my only non-SciFi Month review (for a change) for Sweet Bean Paste, a very sweet and endearing book with a little twist about the things that matter (namely, illness and isolation of those who are different), then we’ll be back to SciFi Month with Neal Stephenson’s The Diamond Age: A Young Lady’s Illustrated Primer, which was a great book, especially if you like Stephenson, and we will finish off the week with a review of Gemina.

~ Little Book Haul ~

I was doing so great last month with the hauling.I feel like this month I’m going to have an abundance of books again, *sigh*. Here are my weekly grabs. I also include one from last week, since we… Didn’t want to talk about the haul on last week’s Sunday post. Heh.

And that’s all! Unfortunately, I haven’t been blog hopping much, so no links this week. Hopefully, next time… Share your news with me in the comments!

I’m Evelina and I try to blog about books that matter, with a bit of fun there too! Disability and equality will be topics you see a lot, but there’s also a lot of scifi, fantasy and… GIFs. I’m also the proud founder of #ARCsAnonymous.

Sadly I don’t have Pintrest account – what with the blog, teaching and my own writing, I simply don’t have time. I hope it goes well – I know a lot of folks really enjoy adding images and it is something that I should consider in due course, given that I enjoy taking photos (though I’m horribly behind with those, too). Have a great week:)

Pinterest was my personal blackhole when I first started pinning. I used to just keep clicking forEVER, and then I would turn around, and I couldn’t believe the amount of time that had elapsed. I want to try and utilize more while I am reading. I love the boards people make to describe books, and I think it would be cool to do more of that.

Dreams are so weird! I do have a Pinterest, but it’s not book related and I rarely use it these days. It is a fun rabbit hole to fall into though! I hope you enjoy all your new reads! The King of Bones and Ashes looks really interesting. Have a great ewek!

While I was writing my Sunday Post, I couldn’t remember how my week was like too. I could not even remember the good news I received concerning ARCs. I do have a Pinterest account, but I can’t remember my username -my memory seems to be failing to me this week…

I’ll have to take a look at the Sci-Fi titles you recommended. I really need to read more sci-fi.

I haven’t read his earlier books (although I’ve seen them around a lot). The publicist mailed me asking to review, so I agreed – this will be my first book of his 🙂
Oh dang, I don’t think I have your Instagram either!

Exactly! I feel like the reading is the bit we document the most 🙂 funny that. I used to also write down dreams, so the actual real life would be… The least documented bit of my life 😀
Thanks for sharing your Pinterest, I’ll see if I can follow some bookish boards of yours 🙂

Sometimes I have weeks like that. 🙂 This week was quiet, which a “4 letter” word at our house, because it normally leads to a very hectic week the following week. lol… I have a Pinterest
, and I enjoy it, but once I go on it I lose track of time.

Ooh Pinterest. Mine is here https://www.pinterest.com/ghill3311962/ Can’t wait to see what you’ve come up with, there is so much awesome stuff on Pinterest. And glad to see you’re going all out with SciFi Month, I haven’t posted anything for it yet but I will soon hopefully. My health issues derailed me a bit on that front.

Pinterest is so much fun. Not only for books but all the other stuff too. You can get ideas for everything over there. In the beginning, I used to pin everything without even making specific boards, but now after I started blogging, I have organized it a little bit. But I still don’t use it as much as I should. I always forget to pin my own book pins there 😛 Btw, I followed you there 🙂 And it seems like you got a good haul this week, and I assume that most of these are from NetGalley? I am… Read more »

Yes, I used to only pin recipes (in my personal one, I mean). I’s simply perfect for that 😀 haha, I also am reluctant to pin my own books. It feels a little like spam, plus, what am I even going to say 😀 maybe after I have more pins by other people! So it doesn’t look like it’s only my pins 😀 Actually, most of that haul was from Edelweiss! I got unexpectedly approved for a lot from there. And I’m sorry it has been over a week and I haven’t answered the comments yet 😀 I was ignoring… Read more »

Cool! I’ve followed your book boards and some of the other cool stuff, thanks for sharing 🙂 oh, I guess I only linked to some of my boards on my post! Here’s my profile link 🙂https://www.pinterest.com/avalinahsbooks/
I also feel like Pinterest is the last one we bloggers ever figure out 😀 for now, I just keep pinning funny bookish jokes and thoughts and I’ve decided to “decide what to do” later 😀 😀 😀

I’ve had a Pinterest account for about a million years now. I don’t get on it much anymore though. When I first started using it, I was super addicted and used it to pin all the delicious fatty looking recipes I could find, and then I discovered that I have a tendency to pin the same recipes more than once because they still look good but I’ve never made them (I think I’ve made a whole three things that I’ve pinned on Pinterest at this point). Looks like a nice haul of books for you this week. Hope you enjoy… Read more »

I know what you mean, I used to be super addicted too 😀 I am mostly pinning all the bookish jokes and just can’t stop 😀 they make life so much better. Oh, and cute animals. Those also make life so much better.
And maybe it’s good you only pinned but never actually made the fatty looking recipes 😀 all in moderation! Sometimes looking at a photo is enough 😀 imagination drives us bookworms anyway.

I love Pinterest. Here is my account: https://nl.pinterest.com/maureensbooksbl/pins/ Eventhough I love it.. I still feel like I don’t really get Pinterest. But I’ll keep on trying. 😀
I know what you mean.. Sometimes I just wonder what the hell I’ve been doing all week. Time just flew by!
Have a great week and happy reading!

Thanks for sharing! Followed your book and blog boards 🙂 I get what you mean, I also feel like Pinterest is just such a different social media, it might take time to figure it out. But hey. At least it’s fun 🙂

I feel like I have missed so much on your site this week. I hope to get caught up today. I need to read your review of Central Station since I am still on the fence about even finishing reading that one. I am looking forward to your review of Gemina.
Have a great week and happy reading!

Don’t worry about it, you’ve had so much on your plate lately. I am thankful you took the time to visit 🙂 I also need to catch up with your blog!
Plus, look at me answering comments from more than a week ago 😀 that implies I’m even more behind! Haha.
Anyway, hope you are doing well and that things are more cheerful for you. Been thinking about you this past week and hoping things are alright.

I love Pinterest! I have a blog account which I post my book reviews, which I see I am behind on updating my boards lol. Here is my account – https://www.pinterest.com/mynookbksnmore/ . I spend more time on my personal account, looking for recipes. I can spend hours on Pinterest if I don’t watch the time lol. I hope you have a great week!

Cool, followed some of your boards! 🙂 here’s mine just in case you missed it:https://www.pinterest.com/avalinahsbooks/
Although I feel like I still have to figure out what I want to do with the Pinterest 😀

Totally one of those weeks 😀 (you can see it by me answering my comments a week later :D)
Ooh, you have a cool Pinterest! Good ideas for boards. Followed you 🙂 here’s my profile link, cause someone said they couldn’t find it from my board links 😀https://www.pinterest.com/avalinahsbooks/

I need to get back into Pinterest for bookish stuff – I love it for travel and for ideas on hosting the family around the holidays. Not much on my blog’s Pinterest account, but you can find it here: https://www.pinterest.com/sheisbookishmn/

I think I have a Pinterest account but I don’t use it. Honestly, I can barely keep up with what I am doing now most weeks so I try not to take on more. I know exactly what you mean about not remembering what you did during the week. I sometimes have to enlist help from my husband when I try to summerize my week. I hope you have a great week and enjoy your new books.

Sounds like you got a lot done last month. My weekends have been pretty busy but that’s good it is once holiday season hits huh? I look forward to seeing some more sci-fi recommendations as I really should read more of that genre. Hope you have s wonderful week.

You’re week sounds like mine, I think. I can’t really remember either. LOL It does appear the book santa visited you too. Have you read Illuminae yet? I read Gemina first and now have to go back to the beginning. I love how the stories are presented. And such a lovely way to showcase your books!

I have a Pinterest account, but my site is currently experiencing issues with its crawler (ugh). I haven’t been blog-hopping much, either—mostly visiting other’s pages and then getting distracted by something else. I bought The Host and have been wanting to read that instead of doing stuff on the computer, plus I’ve been devoting more energy to NaNoWriMo.

Tell me about it! It seems like we have a lot in common as bloggers, crawler problems included 😀 granted, that’s not a thing I would enjoy sharing with anyone, haha, but oh well. For some reason I can’t even upload my sitemap or robots.txt file. Why do simple things have to be so complicated? XD

You’re doing NaNo? That’s great, how is it going?

I haven’t read The Host, but I’ve glimpsed the movie (mom was watching xD) and it looked interesting. I wonder what you’ll think about it 🙂

Yeah, I read your post on it after I posted my comment 🙂 I think it’s good that you dropped NaNo. I’m also setting a lower reading goal for myself next year because of the same reasons, pretty much. What’s the point of torturing yourself over, well, numbers? Also, nope, my SEO still isn’t sorted. Yes, the sitemap exists… But the Search Console does not approve it. It’s just been pending for months. And the robots file won’t let me upload a new one. Funnily enough, I work with someone who does SEO (I do PPC marketing), so we had… Read more »

Are you also unable to edit it, too? That’s…weird, haha. Oh—are you able to see it? If you have cPanel, there should be an option to “Show Hidden Files” when opening “File Manager” (or in its settings after opening). Sometimes (usually) the robots.txt file is hidden, because like the .htaccess, it’s not typically something people need to edit.

Ah, either way, good luck! If he can’t figure it out, I used to run a webhosting company. 🙂

Haha I’m not that smart xD I don’t know what cPanel is… a friend is hosting my website, so the only thing I’ve ever seen is the actual WordPress interface. I’m only accessing the robots file through the Search Console (or Webmaster Tools I guess).

I guess my colleague hasn’t had time to do this yet xD so I’m trying not to think about all the traffic I might be losing xD xD and thank you! Worst case scenario 🙂

I’ve had weeks like that…those garbage men from Inside Out chucked inactive memories lol…that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Bookmarking your hopeful sci-fi post to check out, because hopefulness is something I think we all need in our lives right about now…and, you know, I like speculative fiction.

I’ve been wanting to read Gemina but I haven’t yet. New books keep me distracted every week. I hope you enjoyed it. Anyway, I have a Pinterest account. Need to pin all the Picts on the blog. Hopefully this week.

You have the power to add one more!

WELCOME!

Glad you’re visiting! I blog about books that matter – disability, equality… cake. But I also blog about fun books – scifi, fantasy, kidlit, literary, sometimes YA. A little bit of everything! I’m also the founder of #ARCsAnonymous and I host State of the ARC.
